Currently, research on Cidacs use, mainly, linkage on government
databases to generate new knowledge through the use of linkage
algorithms developed by Cidacs’ team and other techniques such as data
mining and machine learning, producing new information on health
science.
Data received by the center are received, stored and
preserved on basis of Digital Curation procedures. The center follows
rigid ethic preceipts, norms and procedures to guarantee the secrecy of
the individual data.
The data is processed in a high-performance
computational environment, formed by Omolu supercomputer and other
clusters located at Senai-Cimatec. Data abriged on Omolu are acessed
through a monitored environment, without Internet access, with security
protocols and restricted access control
Datasets produced on
Cidacs are currently made available only to research projects associated
to our research platforms or in colaboration with Cidacs.
